On 3rd October 2008 the $2000 cap on federal tax credits for residential solar power was removed. It was attached to the $700,000,000,000 bailout and is now law. This means that Uncle Sam will now make a much bigger contribution towards your system. In our opinion it is now likely that LIPA will reduce the rebates. So ACT FAST and get the higher rebates AND the higher tax credit! This takes account of these changes but not financing costs.
